I missed the biggest buck I've ever seen at 5 yards with my rifle. I suck
What happened? Rush the shot? Just not sure where to aim that close?

You shot without aiming? What exactly is a free hand shot?Rushed the shot, was in a thicket and he was close from downwind of me and about to cross my scent trail. He came behind me so it was a freehand shot.

I think he ment offhand.You shot without aiming? What exactly is a free hand shot?
Just re read that, nice on the meat, bummer no points for the home team.Had a yearling spike and doe walk into the food plot at first light and start feeding. I didn't want to shoot a spike and was on the fence about the doe. Watched them feed for 20 minutes or so not paying much attention, rather I was scanning the wood line for something better. I decided to shoot the doe and get home early cause I had some work to do today. Put the crosshairs on target, squeeze, dead deer. Dropped in its tracks. I get down and walk over to drag it in the woods so I can let my dog try and blood trail it. Wouldn't you fricking know it.............a damn spike. How did I miss that. Oh well got some meat. I would have rathered use a buck tag on a kill that at least got my heart rate up just a bit. Oh yeah since I didn't have much time this morning I just walked in and jumped in the boxstand so It didn't even help out my team. Thank God for long season and late rut. I should contribute eventually.View attachment 39813View attachment 39815
Looks tasty! I’d take one like that right about now!Had a yearling spike and doe walk into the food plot at first light and start feeding.

Are doe days not the dumbest thing ever? We get 3 doe tags, 2 buck, and one either sex. Who cares if you fill them on a certain Saturday or Sunday? Makes no sense. If you want less doe killed then just limit how many in that area that can be killed. I swear there are some really stupid experts.I went yesterday afternoon looking for a doe since it was a doe day. All I saw was one bucks antlers. Couldn’t see the deer at all and then he vanished. Hunting a thicket. This afternoon I’ll take the saddle and get closer to where he was and went but I’m not very optimistic that he shows. Guess we’ll find out in a few hours.
